Noel Gallagher On Manchester City, David Silva, Pep Guardiola, Gary Neville, Jose Mourinho And More

Below are a number of quotes from Noel Gallagher on Super Sunday yesterday.

On record-breaking City...

"We did it. We got the record. It was a tough game. When it was 1-1, I didn't know how it was going to pan out. But we were brilliant. You didn't want to lose that record here - I've been here when they play 'glory, glory Man Utd' and not let you out of the stadium. You could get battered here but today we stood up to it. They never stop playing. There's no long balls. It's going to be a great night in Manchester tonight - I don't think I'll be going home."

On David Silva...

"Dave will go down as the best player we ever had, although the longer Kevin De Bruyne stays here, he'll get close. He's the best player I've ever seen play for City. The only thing Pep would change would be that he's not three years younger. There was a moment when City kept the ball by the corner flag for a few minutes and we were saying that the old United team, somebody would have taken those players out - but United were accepting that the game had gone."

On Pep Guardiola...

"When the new owners took over, he was the guy they wanted and it's all coming to fruition now. When he arrived, the club asked me to do an interview with him for City TV and we've kept in touch. He's a dude. There's not many people in football who actually like talking about football - he would gladly talk to you about what's going on. He does exactly what he says on the tin. Long may it continue."

On sitting next to Gary Neville...

"It's great to be sat next to a football legend [turns to Graeme Souness] - and Gary Neville."

On United fans...

"It's payback time - Gary [Neville] has lauded it up at ours many times down the years. It's a pleasure to be sat beside him. Respect to the United fans who clapped Pep Guardiola off - they know they've seen something special today."

On Jose Mourinho's post-match interview...

"The hypocrisy of the man is staggering."

Some Quotes From Noel Gallagher From Sky Sports 'Super Sunday'

Some of Noel Gallagher's quotes from the Sky Sport's Manchester derby Super Sunday.

Speaking before kick-off, he said: “I don’t like derby days, too nervous.

At the start of the show

“I think my fans would rather go to bed and wake up and have a draw and move on but it’s great to be here sat beside a football legend – and Gary Neville.”

On Manchester City winning the title.

“We could win today and lose to Spurs next week.

“When we started the season and hammering teams but recently we have dug in and we have never had that before. City used to be brilliant or lose.

Most teams now come to us and put 10 behind the ball.”

On Manchester United “You fear them in a derby. But win lose or draw we leave top. I’ll take a 6-0 now.

“The players have confidence, this is the best I have ever seen city play, they had a swagger when we murdered Watford, who were fourth. And the last three games.”

At half time with the score 1-1 “Yeah (I’m slightly disappointed), If we go in 1-0 up it’s a different game second half."

“But it’s been fascinating watching this fella here having a mental breakdown up until the goal. If I knew when I’m watching from home that this is what he’s like when he’s watching Manchester United, it’s going to make it all the more enjoyable for me this season I think. He was having a bad day up until the goal, he was having a bad day.”

On Manchester City goalscorer Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.

On Silva “Always, he’s the main man,” .

On De Bruyne “When you’ve got him and De Bruyne backing him up, they’re difficult to get the ball off of.”

Noel Gallagher on Jose Mourinho's comments that Manchester United should have had a penalty after Herrera got booked for diving.

“This is why people don’t like him, the hypocrisy of that man is staggering."

Jose Mourinho On Noel Gallagher's Appearance On Soccer Sunday

Jose Mourinho has said that Noel Gallagher's appearance as a panelist on Sky Sports' coverage of the Manchester derby is like him assuming a role as a judge on the Eurovision song contest.

Gallagher will join regular pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher at Old Trafford tommorow to offer his views on one of the most eagerly anticipated derby games in many years.

When asked about Gallagher’s inclusion on the Sky panel, Mourinho smiled and offered up this cheeky answer.

"Noel is a big Man City fan, that's not a problem at all," stated Mourinho.

"I think if someone invite me to be a pundit on the Eurovision Song Contest I wouldn't go. I wouldn't risk myself. If Noel wants to do that, brave man."

Super Sunday just got Supersonic! @mancity superfan Noel Gallagher will be the special studio guest for Derby Day! Tag a mate who loves @themightyi 🙌🏻

Liam Gallagher On Noel, Oasis, Jose Mourinho, Richard Ashcroft And More

Oasis legend Liam Gallagher has given fans a rare insight into his career, life and mind during a hilarious Q&A session.

Chatting to Radio X’s Johnny Vaughan in front of an intimate audience at the Etihad Stadium, the home of his beloved Manchester City, Liam was on outspoken top form as he explained why he really isn't a proper Manc and gave his thoughts on United boss Jose Mourinho, the scary clown craze, sounding like John Lennon, his favourite cheese (Cheddar), wearing leopard print Ugg slippers and why Oasis isn't getting back together.

Quaffing Taittinger champagne, he also described two of his most rock and roll moments - doing the loop the loop in a private jet over the Golden Gate Bridge and heckling film star Hugh Grant in front of his ex girlfriend Liz Hurley in Los Angeles.

Seated on a plush brown leather sofa, Burnage's finest was joined by Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs for the Q&A in front an audience of just 200 people, in aid of the Make Some Noise campaign for disadvantaged youngsters by Radio X owners Global.

Fans paid £150 to join the Manchester music icon in the aptly named Legends Lounge.

Earlier this month the rocker flew in to Manchester for a premiere in London for a special screening of the documentary film Supersonic.

Here are some of the highlights of the Radio X Q&A:

On Jose Mourinho (who he described as a "little ****")

"He already looks like it's the end of the season."

Brother Noel and why Oasis isn't getting back together.

"For someone who washed his hands of it he's the one banging on about it.

"I'm ready to go but our kid bangs on like I've stabbed his cat or summat. The thing is he wants to be a solo star. The reason why the band isn't back together is because Noel needs to be surrounded by yes men and I ain't one.

"People need to stop asking him when the band is getting back together. He'll get bored so stop asking him."

The scary clown craze.

"I think they're alright man. I don't mind 'em. I like a clown. Some of them put a lot of effort in."

On THAT scene in Supersonic when the band performed badly because of crystal meth.

"I enjoyed myself. That **** happened a lot."

Brotherly love.

"I remember being drunk as a 15-year-old. I came in at 11pm, couldn't find the lights so ****** all over his stereo."

Singing style.

"I sound like John Lennon. I get more power from not holding the microphone."

The longest he has ever stayed up for.

"The 90s"

Favourite footwear.

"I've got Uggs. They're leopard print and they're the best ******* slippers, slippers when you want to get locked out of the door."

On not being a proper Manc

"I wouldn't say I'm a Manc. I've lived in London 20 years. I'm a universal dream."

The best band frontman, apart from himself of course.

"Richard Ashcroft is pretty cool and Ian Brown is fantastic. And Shaun Ryder is mega."

Being banned by Cathay Pacific flights over a row about a scone.

"I woke up and everyone was eating a scone. I didn't have a scone or a pickaxe."

Noel Gallagher On The Manchester Derby, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic And More

Oasis legend and Etihad fan chats to Sun Deputy Editor Gordon Smart, giving his derby verdict and firm views on much more.

Oasis legend and Manchester City die-hard Noel Gallagher is desperate to be celebrating a Manchester derby win over Jose Mourinho today.

The rock superstar tells The Sun’s Deputy Editor Gordon Smart exactly what he thinks about the derby — including who is the most overrated player in the United camp.

GORDON SMART: Right Noel, this is it, the big one.  There are a lot of lads from different countries in the City team.  How would you get over how important a game it is for the fans?

NOEL GALLAGHER: I  think most professional footballers, no matter where they come from, would realise  how important a local derby is. They wouldn’t necessarily need to know the history of it. This is the Derby — DO NOT LOSE!

GS: City have so many big games now, does United still feel as special?

NG: It’s the biggest. Nothing comes close. There isn’t even a second biggest.

GS: So if you were sending Pep a text on Saturday morning, what would it say?

NG: Ignore the little gobs**** in their dugout beside you. Bamboozle the fools with semaphore and we shall be victorious. And whatever happens, we’ll still love you.

GS: If United were a band who would they be and why? Same with City?

NG: If Man United were a band they’d be the Bay City Rollers. Extremely popular all over the world (so says the press release). The kids love ’em, mums and dads love ’em, grannies and grandads love ’em  . . . EVERYONE ELSE THINKS THEY’RE S***!

City are the Sex Pistols. Enough said.

GS: You’ve interviewed Pep. How is he different from other recent City managers?

NG: What a dude! He’s very, very cool. I could see players, particularly the younger ones, being mesmerised by him. All  managers are different, though, which is why we love the drama in the dugouts.

GS: Everyone is expecting some dugout drama today. But if Jose had come to City, would you have been more or less happy than with Pep’s appointment?

NG:  I would have been happy with either. But it would have felt slightly like a guilty pleasure clapping the other fella. And  any United “fan” will tell you they DESPERATELY wanted Pep, so it’s the double whammy!

GS: You read the Pep book recently. Have you taken anything from it to influence your life?

NG: Ha!! No. Great read, though. He is the real deal.

GS: And would you go for dinner with Mourinho if he asked?

NG: If he’s paying.

GS: Who will be in their job longer, Jose or Pep?

NG: I’m hoping Pep becomes addicted to the Premier League and stays for a decade. Not a***d what the other fella does. Stay? Go? I truly don’t care.

GS: All right then, how do you assess Paul Pogba? Do you think he’s a player to build United around for a decade or a waste of money?

NG: He’s the Mario Balotelli it’s OK  to like. A walking hairdo.

Bale, Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez? He’s nowhere NEAR that league.

There will be  some funky goal celebrations and bullying of third division opponents in the FA Cup along the way. But, nah mate, not for me!

GS: Do you reckon John Stones can handle the physical presence of Zlatan?

NG: Mangala had him in his pocket TWICE last season and he ain’t exactly up to much!

I think United’s tactics will be clear: Park the bus; hit the big divvy up front; see what happens.

GS: Zlatan was winding Claudio Bravo up this week, but have you got a message for him?

NG: Ibrahimovic? He’s a big dafty, a typical United “fan favourite”. I would bet one of my houses that he wears disgraceful shoes. I make him an unacceptable bozo.

GS: Is there ONE United player you would have in the City team?

NG: David De Gea.

GS: Any Manc Derby secrets/scrapes/shame you can tell us about?

NG: Ha!! Erm . . . no!

GS: Who is the first person you text when City win? Who is first to text you when City lose?

NG: I’m not really a mad texter at football. It drives me mad, to be honest.

My DJ pal Mike Pickering probably would be the first on the phone. I’m not really one for gloating either — unlike that current part-time bass player from the  second-best band ever to come out of Manchester (that’d be The Stone Roses!)

I have nothing to say to United fans win, lose or draw.

GS: But what would you do if your daughter, Anais, showed up at the house with a United player draped around her?

NG: She wouldn’t. She’s a blue. The end.

GS: What did the 6-1 game feel like?

NG: It was truly unbelievable. I was in Dublin, just about to start my first solo tour. It was an unforgettable day. I remember just thinking: “Wow!  Imagine being THAT s***!”

GS: The season’s only a few weeks old but is this match a pointer as to who wins the title?

NG: I  get the same feeling from this one as from the one at Old Trafford at around the same time during the 2011/2012 season.

We were both playing really well coming off the back of huge results against Tottenham and Arsenal. The press were saying it was a title decider then and we smashed them 6-1.

Everyone said we’d walk it from there. But as you know we just managed to sneak the title on the last day. Won’t mean a thing long term.

GS: Would you ever have imagined ten years ago that City would be what they  are now?

NG: No, never. I mean . . . did anyone?

The people who took over the club have yet to put even the slightest foot wrong.

The chairman is a colossal dude and as for the sheikh? If Carlsberg did owners . . .

GS: Who were/are the best City players you have seen?

NG: Dave Silva, Sergio, Yaya, Vinny (Kompany), Joe Hart, Kinkladze, Ali Benarbia, Bell, Lee, The Buzzer (Mike Summerbee). We are living in a golden era now, though.

GS: Who is the best current City player?

NG: It really is a toss-up between Silva and Aguero. ANYTHING is possible with those two.

GS: Finally, predictions for the game — and the season?

NG: I think it’ll be a draw. Maybe it has come a bit too early in the season for us to be fully bedded in with the new regime etc. So I can also see United nicking it 1-0.

As for the league? Surely no one is dumb enough to call it in September?

This league regularly makes fools of us all. I just hope it’s a great season and we somehow come out on top.

Noel Gallagher Says Pep Guardiola Has A Massive Job On His Hands At Manchester City

Manchester City superfan Noel Gallagher has told talkSPORT this season will be a ‘massive failure’ if the Blues fail to qualify for next year’s Champions League.

It’s been a disastrous end of the season for outgoing manager Manuel Pellegrini, with City bowing out of the Champions League semi-final in pathetic fashion against Real Madrid, while their Premier League top four hopes have also crumbled in recent weeks.

A slide in results, claiming just one win in four games, means Man City now need West Ham to beat Manchester United on Tuesday night to keep their chances alive.

If United win their final two games of the season, City - who only have one more game to play -  win finish fifth.

And Gallagher joined the Sports Bar on Monday night to vent his fury and frustration with the team.

“If we end up failing to qualify for the Champions League, this season will be a massive failure - even though we won the League Cup,” the English rock legend and High Flying Birds frontman told talkSPORT.

“The fact a top four place is not in our hands is unfathomable.

“It’s an absolutely disgrace that City are waiting on West Ham to do us a favour against Manchester United.

"And Leicester are 17 points in front of us – that’s just insane!

“We’re in big trouble here, because if we don’t qualify for the Champions League, how are we going to attract the players who are rumoured to be coming?

“There’s talk of big players coming in the summer, and if they all want to play in the Champions League, are they going to come?

“Pep has a massive job on his hands.”

Pellegrini had the chance to end his reign at the club with glory, after guiding City to their first ever Champions League semi-final.

But, despite playing in what was arguably the biggest game in the club’s history, the Blues’ stars failed to turn up – registering just one shot on target as Real won 1-0 to progress to the final against Atletico Madrid.

And Gallagher has plenty to say about that, too.

“I was out there in Madrid and the whole thing was just so disappointing, the two legs were really deflating,” he added. “To not muster a shot on target was a pretty damning statistic.

“I was walking out of the Bernabeu thinking, ‘I would have rather got beat 5-0’.

“If a manager like Mourinho, Klopp or Mancini was on the touchline instead of Pellegrini, would the team have mustered a bit more fight? I think they would have. I’m looked over at the manager during the game, and he’s  stood with his hands in his pockets and I’m just thinking, ‘come on man!’

“Who wants to get to the semi-final of the Champions League and finish fifth in the Premier League? No one!

“I would have rather gone out in the last-16 and finished third.”

Noel Gallagher On Manchester City's Appointment Of Pep Guardiola

Rock legend and Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has issued a warning to his fellow supporters – having Pep Guardiola as manager will not guarantee success.

The Spaniard’s widely expected switch to the Etihad Stadium was confirmed on Monday, with the former Barcelona coach to succeed Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.

It’s a huge coup for City, who reportedly fought off interest from a host of other top clubs from around the world to land the outgoing Bayern Munich boss, including rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.

The 45-year-old has won top honours at every club he has coached – three La Liga, two Champions League and two Copa del Rey titles at Barcelona, plus two Bundesliga titles and one DFB Cup at Bayern Munich – and he could well be the difference as City look to end their wait for European glory.

But High Flying Birds frontman Gallagher has attempted to calm the early celebrations – "he hasn’t even landed in Manchester yet" – by asking: "Can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?"

Speaking on the Sports Bar, the former Oasis icon told talkSPORT: “It’s an amazing statement of intent, but some of my City friends are celebrating like we’ve won something!

“He doesn’t really guarantee anything. What having Guardiola does is he opens the door to the top, top players

“I’d have thought if the likes of Paul Pogba, if he hasn’t made his mind up about where he’s going at the end of the season, Guardiola could potentially swing it for him to come to City.

“We hear rumours of Neymar and he could swing it with him too. These players want to play for the best managers.

"I think Guardiola has work to do – we should have won five Premier League titles in a row with this squad – but he’s widely regarded as the best, so we’re about to find out aren’t we?

“Managers at top teams are judged on Champions Leagues now, and I think HE would consider his time at City a failure if he doesn’t win the Champions League with all the resources he will have at his disposal.

“We’re about to see if he’s one of the greats aren’t we, because he’s not coming to a two-horse race here.

“We’re about to see if the old adage is true – can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?

“Not only is it a great thing for City, it’s a great thing for all English football fans. Although we can’t seem to attract the top players in the world anymore, the top managers are coming here - him and Klopp and if Jose goes to United, which I’m sure he will now.”

Noel Gallagher Says Mourinho Can’t Wind Pellegrini Up

Noel Gallagher has claimed that it really winds Jose Mourinho that he can’t wind Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini up, as reported by Match of the Day 3.

Mourinho reacted to the 1-1 draw with Burnley by claiming that poor refereeing decisions cost his side all three points after being denied a penalty and Nemanja Matic being sent off, as reported by Sky Sports.

And now Gallagher has claimed that Mourinho can wind up Arsene Wenger but struggles to get Pellegrini to bite.

Gallagher told Match of the Day:”I think it really winds him up that Mourinho can’t wind Pellegrini up. He tried it with Wenger and he bites a little bit.

Van Gaal doesn’t come into it as he’s not a rival and Brendan Rodgers is his mate. Pellegrini’s just killing it every week, he’s just like ‘I’m not interested’ and it’s really winding him up.”

Noel Gallagher: Liverpool Title Victory Would Be Catastrophic For Manchester United

Noel Gallagher wants Liverpool to win the Premier League title – should Manchester City miss out on the crown.

The Reds are in a four-way battle for the crown with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

And Gallagher claims a victory for the Anfield side would not only deny ‘ungrateful’ Jose Mourinho, but also upset Manchester United supporters in the process.

When asked who he wanted to win the Premier League title if Manchester City missed out, he said: “Liverpool.

“There are two reasons for that. It would be worse for Manchester United fans than Manchester City winning the title, for a start.

“I also don’t want Mourinho to get his hands on it this year because he’s been such an ungrateful, cheat.”

Gallagher insists City have come "super close" to winning the Premier League, but admits it may have been his team's best chance given that he expects their rivals to strengthen in the summer.

He also believes Roberto Mancini will stay at Eastlands - unless Jose Mourinho decides to leave Real Madrid - and says Mario Balotelli shouldn't take all the blame for City's failings.

And, credit where credit's due, he pays tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul Scholes, claiming those two have been among the key factors in the title race.

Noel Gallagher Wants To Kiss Jose Mourinho

As a fellow proponent of rockstar swagger and speaking his mind, lifelong Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has made no secret of his admiration for The Special One. He praised Mourinho when Sven Goran Eriksson was sacked in 2008, and phoned talkSPORT last year to tell them the Portuguese would be a perfect replacement for Roberto Mancini at Eastlands.

But this is a little more than one successful man admiring another. If an interview in Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo is to be believed, the former Oasis guitarist wants to make mouth whoopy with Mourinho when his solo tour hits the Spanish capital:

What do you expect from the concert in Madrid?

I hope Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Özil come. I love Mourinho with all my f**king heart. If you see him, tell him that I want to kiss him.

Are you being serious?

Quite serious. I love this man and I want to kiss him.

While Noel loves him some Special One, the more obnoxious Gallagher brother hasn't been quite so complimentary. At a Beady Eye concert in Madrid earlier this year, Liam is reported to have said: "There's only one boss in this town, and if Jose's here I'll have him."

Liam Gallagher's Fighting Talk

Liam Gallagher has been busy causing mischief on tour in Europe.

During a Beady Eye gig in Madrid at the weekend, the singer decided to egg on the crowd with a dig at Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.

He shouted: "There's only one boss in this town, and if Jose's here I'll have him."

The local fans refused to take the bait, greeting the band by chanting: "Ole, ole, ole, ole."

To make matters worse, Man City got pumped 2-0 by Chelsea yesterday.
